Sure you can. First, make sure both computers are in the same network. In
Win98, go into Network Properties and look at the Identification tab. In
WinXP right-click on My Computer, go to Properties and check Computer Name.
The workgroups should be the same.
Then, in Win98 Network Properties, select File and Print Sharing and make
sure "I want...Share my printer" is checked. Restart if required. Then
right-click on your printer, select sharing, and share the printer. Your
WinXP machine should see the printer (give it a couple of minutes to find
it).
You can do the same thing to file folders. Your WinXP already has a folder
shared by default.
